I do not claim that AI cannot set long-term strategies. My claim is that this is not where AI’s competitive advantages over humans will be. I could certainly imagine that a future AI would be 10 times better than me in proving mathematical theorems. I am not at all sure it would be 10 times better than Joe Biden in being a U.S. president, and mostly it is because I don’t think that the information-processing capabilities are really the bottleneck for that job. (Though certainly, the U.S. as a whole, including the president, would benefit greatly from future AI tools, and it is quite possible that some of Biden’s advisors would be replaced by AIs.)
